A: I can't stop thinking about that Hammitt bag AND I want a Clare V snakeskin bag. Why am I like this?
M: You are just Fall Wanty
M: I think the only bag I’m keeping an eye out for this fall is the Grande Fanny either in the perforated black or caramel color:
A: I love that. Grande fanny!
M: I am making my fall shopping list though! I want some straight or wide leg pants (my white whale tbh, they never look right on me), a Veronica Beard dickey blazer, and probably a new wool winter coat. I haven’t bought a new dressier coat in years, just puffers haha. I also want some buttery soft loafers (I mean the dream is Gucci but yeah)
M: Also, two of my friends are currently obsessed with this shirt (with bike shorts and Birks of course) so I have my eye out for a sale or code:
A: That is SO GOOD
M: I know, it's like perfect
A: I rarely ever do button up shirts but that one looks soft and comfortable
M: The cut is just right too. Like where the buttons hit are just right and the butt covering in the back.
A: Perfection
M: Not exactly wide leg but I want to try these:
A: Well thanks a lot, now I want both those too
M: Haha
A: I mostly just want All The Bags right now
A: Wait, I also want this necklace set but it needs to be on sale:
A: It’s not even expensive, just the principle of the thing
M: Haha
A: I saw it in store and it’s really pretty with the freshwater pearl
+++
M: Me: Definitely not shopping any more for a while.
M: Also me: 👀
A: Back Away
M: I am going to need some new furry Birks probably but it’s AUGUST MARIANNE
A: Same BUT IT IS AUGUST (though it was 45 degrees here yesterday morning. WTF, PNW.)
M: Anyway! Right now I'm focused on non-denim pants. I have my eye on these, though they are Advanced:
A: Those are so cute but involve a full tuck, for sure
M: I can do a full tuck IF I have a cute jacket or cardigan
A: Right, yes
M: These are what I would wear in a heartbeat if I were built differently:
A: Dreamy retro pants
M: I also like these possibly:
A: That elastic waistband tho
M: The kids love an elastic waist it seems
A: Oh, kids today
M: These would definitely make me cry but I like them anyway:
A: I love those in theory
M: These had potential until I saw that yoke detail that looks like a c-section scar:
A: Ha! No thank you.
M: No yoke version:
A: MUCH better
M: Ooh you know what this should be my fall experiment like the denim shirt!
A: Yessssss
M: So that’s the fatigue pants, the track trousers, the slim Emmett, and the paperboy pants.
A: YES. MAKE IT HAPPEN CANADA.
M: Everything will be here on or before August 24th! Damn I hope I like at least one pair (but damn I hope I don’t like all of them)
A: Its Madewell - half of them will fit REAL weird
M: Maybe even ALL of them
(Stay tuned!)
Wide legged pants are my white whale, too. Supposedly they are flattering for hippy folks like me, but every time I try them on I hate them with the heat of a thousand suns. They always make me look gargantuan.
ReplyDeleteThey don't work on me either.
DeleteI was wondering how the yoke of pants could look like a c-section scar, then I scrolled down and nearly spit out my drink! So spot on!!
ReplyDeleteIs there a link for that button down shirt? Looks like the current link is just for the picture. I'm curious about it...
Yes! Sorry, I just fixed it.
DeleteThank you!
DeleteBe warned those MW fatigue pants run huge! Not a good look on me, hope you have better luck. Feel like Madewell should be able nail that design. Also Loft has a fantastic version of the paper bag pants in olive that feel like silky sweatpants!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI am currently obsessed with the idea of finding some sort of, "Dressy sweatpant," type thing that I could wear to work. I almost went with some from Athleta but I decided the fabric was too thin (I am also in the NW). Anyway, I shall follow this quest closely! I really do like the elastic waistband ones, but also, they look quite a lot like the slacks my grandma wore. Is that bad?
ReplyDeleteI think Athleta is the way to go - they usually come out with lined joggers in the fall!
DeleteTotally late to this party/post, but that J Crew shirt is pretty amazing. I bought it during a sale this spring in white, and I absolutely love it. It's the coziest damn thing. Definitely not the usual, starchy button down.
